Gone

This was the closest cache to where i was working today (500m) so i called in to have a look when i had finished. I had a good look around for about 15 mins with no luck. There has definitely been a lot of water through here. I fear it may be gone

Suggestion only following recent rains and flooding in this area.
Would be worthwhile checking cache is still intact / accessible.

My device said I was at GZ but a sweep of the surrounding area returned nothing.
The area has been recently scoured by floodwater.

Found this one for 75 !!! WOO HOO !!!

great spot so close to home... AND I didn't even know it existed !!! like a little oasis

a few runners & walkers ambled past whilst I was logging... I hope they don't think I was doing drugs...

What a nice little path. TFTC

Nice pathway! Thanks for the cache!

A lovely little hidden area and a quick find. I enjoyed the walk and the area. Picked up the geocoin. This my 100th cache...... woo hoo. TFTC

A nice little spot and our first find fo rthe morning on our way to the rebellious event.

TFTC

Enjoyed this peaceful area easy find TFTC

Found whilst out with my geodaughters all four of them. Pretty little area. TFTC

Nice area! Gps was every where!

From the sound of it there has been a lot of work done here. I was expecting a certain something at GZ but instead it was something else. It was when I was leaving that I saw the reason for the nomenclature.

Found with geoson2. Took golf ball and released 10 Year Tag geocoin on its world tour.

Nice walk - TFTC

Found cache easily after enjoying the nice walk. TFTC

A quick find along a nice walk. TFTC!

Found this one easily with lots of geo-kids in tow. made some swaps and on our way. TFTC.

found on east`ersunday

I had just said to Alkzura "We should probably pause here a moment for the GPS to catch up.", when he said "I bet it's there." and it was. TFTC

Found with NyletaM at 22:30
Likely hiding spot seen before gps updated.
grabbed the cache SL
TFTC.

Nearly didn't find this ... too busy swatting the mossies away. Luckily one of the junior penguins had their mind on the job. TFTC

After reading the description, I was amazed when I visited the area today. It's not much more than a boggy area again. Well, actually, it's a pretty little revegetation area, it's just that the last monsoon has turned the ground back into swamp. This was an easy find once I stopped trusting the bouncy GPS and started trusting my eyes instead. Thanks for yet another cache, Wingaap!

This would have been much quicker for me if I had just put down the GPS and used my eyes instead! Had to go back in twice to get this one as my signal was bouncing all over the place. TFTC!

397 - Found this one easily at 6:33pm after a short walk from the shopping centre when our regular game of sport was called off due to lack of numbers. TFTC wingaap.

Found at 1813 by the Geoson in about 5 seconds flat after the GPS took us right to the spot.

There were some pages that had fallen out of the logbook but there's still plenty of room. A little care just needs to be taken to prevent any more damage.

This is a beautiful spot, thanks for bringing us here TFTC Wingaap

Found on 30/12/09 and thought updated location but re-checking showed not listed.

Just came from Brookside. TFTC

The logbook is falling apart. Needs replacing bad.

On holiday from Devon, England, staying with son and family at Everton Park. Found this one when on a shopping trip to Brookside. As I didn't know what a Redgum looked like, thought I might have trouble but GPS behaved perfectly and it was an easy find. TFTC

Kms for my TB Shirt recording all Caches I have been to.

Had a look when a old couple came through has to stop to let them pass then had another look and finding the cache with ease but did walk past it once.

Found on holidays with Team Crackers,
Thanks again Wingaap,
Regards Mr.Coffee

These strips of bush land in these new housing estates are great, the problem is often getting a convenient car park to access them. As we got out of our car a home owner asked what we wanted, she looked surprised when we said we were going for a walk. The GPSr had us going in circles for awhile but once this was sorted out the cache was soon in hand
Thanks again wingaap for what was to be our last cache for the day

TFTC T:TB LN SL

Caching in Brisbane while waiting for geohubby to finish in a conference. How many can I get going from closest to closest bouncing my way around the northern suburbs? 35, before boredom sunk in and I went back to a friends to eat icecream. TFTC

Great area. Muggle ran straight by us as we were signing the log :/ But didn't seem unduly interested. TFTC

great park and easy find
thanks

Very good walk path and lovely view forest.............

at 16:12. At first our GPSr sent us crashing off into the bush but it came to its senses. Took the tiny compass and left a souvenir keyring. TFTC.

Looked for this cache after dark. I'm convinced my GPS can't find it's way in the dark!! It took me across the track to some dark and dangerous looking areas, before finally settling down. Found it (eventually) and signed the log. TFTC wingaap

Nice place , quiet and out of the way

Third for the day down and the Geokids are on a roll.

A nice area and an easy cache found with geoson. TFTC

A quick find this morning while out on a walk, really nice area, Thanks for the cache. Andrew and Maryan.

Mmm, there's those A&M types again.... Seems I am following in the footsteps... Nice little path through here. It is nice to see some greenery left in the developments of today...

Took Mr Nosy TB.

Cheers

Nice little spot. Left Mr Nosey TB. TFTC

Found it No. 1308 ... street closed due to workers ... Took TB and left Geocoin

i was in the area so I dropped off Travel Bug 7CVZR4 Beachcomber. Needs a hand to get to a beach . . . .

Interesting spot in the middle of the suburbs.

I had time to kill this arvo and had been wanting to try this one for a couple of weeks now. No parking nearby, so I parked at Brookside and went for a stroll.

Once I decided that the GPS was a little out (tree cover), it all became obvious. Cache was in good condition, all dry.

Quite a pleasant little area, and a nice easy walk. Even spied a bush turkey having a scratch about nearby.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.

Over here from Perth on a geocaching/visit-the-family holiday. Out today caching with Questing4. Very nice regeneration area and a great hiding spot. TFTC.

Nice little park, more than what meets the eye when you first pull up. Easy find (Just the kind I like) TFTH

this certainly wasn't what I was expecting. Cache in good condition, I dropped off Sweet 16 TB (now with a nice red lanyard).

Found it. TFTC

Found by Jabiru230. Log book is a bit damp but cache is in good condition otherwise. TFTC TNLNSL

Easy find once the GPSr settled down. It's good to see these green corridors being preserved as the city gets bigger.

Nice and easy this one.

Lovely piece of bush-meets suburbia.

i found it thanks

Found the cache at 2pm with patox. We enjoyed walk along to the GZ. SL. Thanks wingaap for organising the cache and hunt.

Fourth for the day. Walked right past this one thinking it would be more concealed. Nothing like hiding things right under peoples noses. TFTC.

Good to see more of mother nature in the burbs. TNLN. TFTC.

found with Kholometers and Strongarm Thanks for the cache

Find 23 of 42 on a day of caching with Kholometers and Tratty. The cache was a little exposed when we found it so we hid it a bit better - TNLN, TFTC.

EDIT: Fixed the wrong find number

This one rounded out the decathlon for us as part of Geosportz. We tried walking along the bikepaths from 500m away then weren't too sure if it was going to get us there. We backtracked and took the easy route by car. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Going back into caches I have found in the past and "visiting" a personal TB to give a total km travelled in our time caching.

Found it today, with freezy123 and friend

easy one, nice park, nice area.

Nice little spot with a good opportunity to get in and get out!

TN, Left my marbles

Found with ADV, nice area, looks good now, grabbed a photo and moved on, thanks for the fun!!

Cheers

Found with TheWonderstuff. Nice spot, hard to imagine it filled with junk.

0694 re-logging due to name change

694 What a great little park (and some pretty spectacular houses in the area too. Easy find. TFTC wingaap

Would have taken half the time to walk here from "Brookside" but it was an adventurous drive. The rubbish might be gone, but the building detritus remains. They're messy buggers, aren't they. Found the cache in good order. TN/LN/SL before hitting the road.

found quickly after a pleasant walk in a bit of bush

A very pretty little path I didn't know existed. Thanks wingaap.

I'm surprised time and time again by all the lovely patches of bushland discovered thanks to geocaching. Easy find. TNLN.

Found on our 24 hour Caching run around Brisbane and the outer suburbs.
Visiting from South Aust for the weekend.

Found during our big cache assault
TFTC

Gee Wingers the caches names are bleeding one into another - I was certain I had already logged one for a cache named Red Gum. But I must be getting a little senile in the amount of logs I am writing for Mr Mad. Thanks heaps for the cache.

Nice quick find at 0545hrs. An interesting bit of history for the area too.

TNLNSL TFTC

Passed some fellow cachers coming out as we were heading in.

A nice little spot and interesting to read some of Wingaap's recollections of the areas history.

Found very easily. Ran into other geocachers heading towards the cache as we left. The piece of paper and the attempted hide of the GPS gave them away.

Another shady pathway to be 'explored'. Didn't know of this path even though I walk or cycle 100 odd metres from it occasionally [sometimes more occasionally than others]. IN: Wombats keyring OUT: Komodo keyring. Signed new logbook. Thanks wingaap for the cache.

found this one in a journey looking for three caches. This was the only succesful find though. Nice park love the area.

Needed to do a return to DSE, whipped by these couple of wingaap classics!

Find #21 on a big day of geocaching with Mastamak! Found at 9.55am by Mastamak G.

Find 20 of 52 on a day out with KidzJCT.

Easy find. Quite a nice new development going on here.

Went for a stroll with THE GREEN GECKO to this one and it just had to be in there. Think like a cacher. TFTC TNLN
Another one needing a bit of log book attention.
